Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Brookwood, AL.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or treatment center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Brookwood that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
